Re: Water Pump Removal
To prevent thread galling and insure easy removal use neverseize on the bolt threads.

Re: Water Pump Removal
Or you could just remove the hood and while you have it off do other little projects and clean-ups that are easier to get to. Chap

Re: Water Pump Removal
Excellent point, I didn't think about how thick your core is. My Berg core is as big as would fit, not a lot extra room left. That explains a lot of differing experiences.

Re: Water Pump Removal
Just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago and removed the hood completely since I wanted to do the pump and some other things under the hood. I put in a leak less pump and so far it is just that, not a drop of water and I love it. I did have to undo the two rods from the radiator and got it forward just enough and the pump came out no problem.

Re: Water Pump Removal
What’s the best way to remove the pump studs for the fake bolts? Tried the double nut but it didn’t work.

Re: Water Pump Removal
That's a job best done when the head is off, but that convenience exists rarely. Try. A good penetrating oil soak overnight. Then try a pair of vice grips. Pray they come out without breaking. Heat helps a lot too.

If it has a4 blade that is a riveted I have posted this before but it is much less evasive to the car (electrical wiring and more) so I use a sawzall to cut the pump in half. A towel and air compressor blow gun can be used for quick cleanup. Trust me, it works well, and my customers appreciate my charging less for doing it so quickly. You would be replacing the pump with a new one and new 2 blade fan so no big deal. Larry Shepard |
